BTW, I say that this is a handy range extender, because I have a very similar gadget in the trunk of my own Leaf which has 4 bars lost, so the range is reduced to almost half the original, which is still enough for me, but carrying an extra pack in the trunk, attached to a sine wave inverter which feeds it into a charging station which has a J1772 plug with cord long enough to insert into the front of the vehicle when I want to charge while parked in a place that has no charger – yeah, that is very handy.
Cor, have you looked into defeating the "safety features" which prevent charging while driving? And adding or relocating a J1772 inlet? Or accessing the 240vac charger input? Back before I was so "Leaf negative", I thought that would be a good way to add an extending pack. Of course an alternative would be to parallel a pack of the same voltage (but not necessarily the same capacity), but that would entail dealing with the risks of handling full pack voltage.
